Viktor Schauberger on Water

Let my inspiration be yours also. Please enjoy the quote of Viktor Schauberger given by Callum Coats, and we will be happy if you oblige us with your
thoughts in that direction.

From the Book "Viktor Schauberger's Brilliant Work with Natural Energy Explained" by Callum Coats /Gateway Books, September 2001/

The Schaubergers' principal preoccupation was directed towards the conservation of the forest and wild game, and even in earliest youth my
fondest desire was to understand Nature, and through such understanding to come closer to the truth; a truth that I was unable to discover either at
school or in church. In this quest I was thus drawn time and time again up into the forest. I could sit for hours on end and watch the water flowing
by without ever becoming tired or bored. At the time I was still unaware that in water the greatest secret lay hidden. Nor did I know that water was
the carrier of life or the ur-source5 of what we call consciousness. Without any preconceptions, I simply let my gaze fall on the water as it flowed
past. It was only years later that I came to realise that running water attracts our consciousnesses like a magnet and draws a small part of it along
in its wake. It is a force that can act so powerfully that one temporarily loses one's consciousness and involuntarily falls asleep. As time passed I
began to play a game with water's secret powers; I surrendered my so-called free consciousness and allowed the water to take possession of it for a
while. Little by little this game turned into a profoundly earnest endeavour, because I realised that one could detach one's own consciousness from
the body and attach it to that of the water. When my own consciousness was eventually returned to me, then the water's most deeply concealed psyche
often revealed the most extraordinary things to me.

I've had similar walks in the park near where I live. I used to just chill at a few spots at the creek, and just sit there for hours admiring the
beauty of the forest and creek, and its peace. I love the concept of elements though, seeing as how they each got their own characteristics and
stations in nature in general.

You got my S&F.

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the
bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
Bruce Lee
